In response to a May 21 request from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for comments on its proposed Statistical Policy Directive on the fundamental responsibilities of federal statistical agencies and recognized statistical units in the “design, collection, editing, compilation, analysis, release, and dissemination of statistical information” (Federal Register, Vol. 79, No. 98), AERA Executive Director Felice J. Levine provided comments supporting the goals of OMB’s draft directive while providing three key recommendations for strengthening it.

Levine’s July 21 letter recommended that OMB (1) include a statement on the importance of autonomy in the functioning of statistical agencies and recognized units; (2) make clear its expectation of federal departments to support the work of statistical agencies and mandate that departments review and report on current related procedures and structures; and (3) emphasize the significance of confidentiality protection in the collection and analysis of data.

“Becaused of th wide scope of the journal, we havee sought a group of associate editors who collectively have broad areas of expertise,” said Warschauer. “They include scholars who focus on early education,..adolescents, and adults, as well as scholars with expertise in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. They are notable for their interest in transcending silos and crossing boundaries. This outstanding group is key to launching this new effort.”

I am impressed by the age of the AERA and the nature information on this website. The site has helped me update my knowledge on a number of issues on reserach.
